"Americans are more no-life than Europeans. They are putting in more practice hours than the Europeans. OK, they win tournaments but lets look statistics: if you train A LOT for a year you are not sure to win prize money. If you work hard for 1 year you can earn more than [the equivalent of] 50 1st places in a tournament."

He also talks about Cooller's disrespect for him, why he hates DaHanG and what he thinks about people who make excuses.

I like his attitude, though his goals are weird and i can't really judge if those are facts or lies.

"I will just say thats bad, you wasted your time for nothing. When you do perform badly and you know you trained 24h/24h for months, how do you feel?" Although i wouldn't mind punching him into face either.

tbh ... he really really is the most shizophren guy according to these interviews. and i'm really happy for the hate-comments so close before the tourney. hopefully all his self selected, most disliked opponends find time to read that interview before the matches.

WTF. He think for example Cooller and americans don't party? OMG. I know even some school geeks that like to party. WTF, really? Talking about geek players... Never seen anyone exept strenx who even don't want others to spec him (cos they will learn his style). I bet strenx drink some gay shity coctails and getting drunk after 2-3, and he calling it "party". C'mon french arrogant little boy, teach us how to party, cos we do in our real lifes is playing quake. I hate arrogant fags. Better to be quake geek, then arrogant fucker, who don't know anything about life, but talking like he is P.I.M.P. Fuck Off little boy. P.S. Anyway good taht he speak waht he thinks, but his arrogance is something from another planet, he even do not realise how arrogant is he.

I'm a beer lover, but I'm not fat. :P
Also, not sys admin, but pretty close. DSLAM, Calix and Adtran provisioning, and assigning static ips and registering domains/ setting up DNS.
I still party more than you though ;)

if i would take a guess, i think this is a new attitude from him.
a mechanism to cope with losing. trying to convince him self that he doesn't rly care to much, as not to hurt hes ego if he doesn't achieve as much as he wanted to.

also i think he belongs to the players that practice the most, so that no life comment is kind of, dunno:)

and i remember him not wanting cooller to spec hes game pre eu championship, so basically the same thing as dahang. as far as the stfu comment, dunno, doesn't sound like dahang.

I dont feel superior to you strenx but I don't feel inferior either.
I never said that I thought you played your best.
I was just happy about my own tactics during the games and didn't like the fact that you tried to take that away from me with your whine. Just like you don't like it when cooller does excuses.

"Madix is better than me? No way." im up 2-1 wins in official games for the record.

DaHanG takes the game seriously. Quake Live is his life. I hate DaHanG since he said this to me; He watched my games vs Stermy all the time. I asked him the server password when he played cooller. : \
He said no. :|

On US servers we typically have 16 people on private servers watching out games, those games typically consist of sets traded between players, myself tehnewbz sparks chance dkt and dahang. If he said stfu private server, it's because you really shouldn't be messaging people while they are in game on a private server. You ask the spectators if there are any, if not you wait until the game is over and message them.

If they still say no, it's because they do actually want the privacy they sought out by creating a private server. You can't really hold that against them, and it doesn't mean they have an attitude. Dahang especially is a very tolerant person, so I'm willing to bet you messaged him mid game.

First i must admit i fucking like all this latest sincere, straightforward interviews. Just epic.

As for strenx goes i liked his answers. Honest, direct answers. This guy will gain respect which was unthinkable only few months ago. He just has to stop mentioning party in every sentence and stop pretending he is not practicing. I doubt anyone believes him about that.

Oh and yeah, if there was only russian english so far we are now faced with zhe french one. Gotta love this diversity.

"I asked him the server password when he played cooller.
He said no.
I said why?
He replied: STFU, private server"

Why would he say this if you are so nice? Doubt he talks in such way to everyone

"Americans are more no-life than Europeans. They are putting in more practice hours than the Europeans. OK, they win tournaments but lets look statistics: if you train A LOT for a year you are not sure to win prize money. If you work hard for 1 year you can earn more than [the equivalent of] 50 1st places in a tournament."

I am pretty sure that someone like DaHang doesnt play for money and is aware that he can earn more money than out of gaming with any job. This is healthy sport wish to be the first in game he plays

"But they [the rest of them] are in their dream world. They all think they can reach the top; they should be a little more realistic. Im realistic; I know I have a small chance to go through the group."

Thats why the USA owns the world!

"Dkt is also in his dream world. He thinks he can reach the top but he should be a more realistic about what he can reach or not. I mean he did top 7 during IEM in USA, so please :)"

Every American highly wants to be the best in what he does. Nothing bad

About Cooller:
"For sure he isnt the best at quake like he thinks he is."He doesnt think so. He said after IEM Europe that he, Cypher, av3k, DaHang and rapha would be top contenders for the win at the World Finals. Isn't it true?

"But really I dont mind, its their life, they do what they want. I enjoy my life, I play and I go to parties, I study etc."And so much talk about it...
Nah, an every single phrase is shitty. The whole story is a great mix of whine,hate and frustration. I had better opinion about Strenx before

travelling expensive? dont be kidding.
If you get 300 euro payment, yes, but not like 1600 in month @ UK. for 300 euro u can spend 7 days in Turkey etc or for 600 euros @ mexica.. its more cheaper then cheap..

no shit sherlock, but then there's people who are still students or dont earn much money or are jobless, and it's surely cheaper to go somewhere with a sponsorship deal/prize money and have some of your expenses covered, than not having any of this. take it to the extreme, I doubt all painkiller players would have been able to travel around the world as much in a year without their sponsorships and prize money. it's not exactly news that a well paid job allows you to travel the world, but it's stupid to deny that some deals these players get are helping as well.

if you are 18+ and dont have own money, its your problem. Most pro gamers are 20+ so if they worked normal job, they could travel more! :)) but as I said, it much depends where u live. if you live in midle china and earn 25$ in month , so its expensive.

In Germany you usually won't finish uni before 23/24, depending on what you study or did before it might take even longer. Most students tend to not have shitloads of money to piss away for traveling during that time.

I'm in this category in the US. I'm currently a full-time student with no real income and won't finish university until I'm 24. It's also likely, due to my choice in careers, that I will have to start out at a little to no pay internship until I have professional experience. Let's say that I won't be making real money until I'm 25. =(

You probably agree with me in that Strenx is off his rocker to think that the US players have no lives. DKT is married with a job, rapha has a job, Dahang goes to school full-time, and chance also works. I don't believe it true of anyone who plays quake that they ONLY focus on quake. There has never been a player in the history of the game who has that sort of luxury.

Haha, good point. Alright so two professional quake players have had the luxury lol. What I was really trying to say though, is that everyone has obligations, quake is only a portion of anyone's life. I think that holds true even for sujoy and fatal1ty.

yeah ofcourse, imo the interview is pretty much full of immaturity and narrowminded views and contradictions. I'm a full-time student myself (well, slacking loads lately :p) and will finish uni soon at the age of 25. University degrees have been reformed (or should I say fucked up) in the past years, moving from regular old diploma to the bachelor/master system. I myself am doing diploma, and I know plenty of students who are in the new bachelor courses. Especially in the beginning you got shitloads of work to do (physics), even if I wanted to I couldn't work enough to have enough money for a decent life myself, let alone travel around the world regularly.

Partying vs gaming or other activities is quite a stupid discussion. It's most likely a good idea to socialise with other people regularly, and much of that happens at parties especially if you're 19. But you'll eventually get bored of it, and some people never enjoy it much in the first place. Some prefer clubs, others pubs, or maybe dinners with friends. Some drink, others don't, some do sports, others don't. As long as you don't get too disconnected from friends or environments (or let's say too fucked up), you should be fine no matter what. And even if you decide to be a complete stranger and never leave the house, well so be it? Do whatever makes you happy, it's a good idea to be aware of the consequences but at the end of the day who's got to say what your life should look like? I'd rather play games and love it than go to parties and hate it but oh well everybody goes to parties?!?! time to get out of puberty

I hate the way he says to earn money you just have to work and you can party and play quake at the same time. When he finishes school and figure it's not that easy to find a job, maybe he'll eat his own words and practice more quake and become a Nolife, like Americans.

Just remember he's a young 19y old boy. Having this attitude is what is cool at his age.
Besides, he talks about working and making a living although he's never worked yet, must be something he heard from friends/parents.
He's just young, he'll change his mind, and it's quite obvious that he MINDS about quake live.

My thoughts about practise vs no practise and strenxs view on this.
Quake is like learning how to ride a bicycle - Once you've learned it you will never forget.
Practise is merely for trying some new shit and see how it translates into your game or to boost your selfconfidence.
Strenx seems to protect himself in advance for a failure by stating that he does not practise and that he's so extremely outgoing and awesome but oh you won't fool me you insecure you.

Im pumped about the games btw ! and the fact that strenx and buzz lightyear will be sharing a sofa in the near future :D

I don't quite agree about Quake like a bicycle, although game knowledge and general strategy is hard to unlearn.

But dropping the game for 6 months and your aim/movement goes to shit. I think the benefit DaHang gets from practicing heavily is that his aim/movement is very comfortable and it helps against uncertainty. Instead of getting nervous and uncertain about what to do in a situation, a well-practiced player won't hesitate, but will act (either for good or bad) on what they think is the best action. Also, I think there's the added benefit of when a player is extremely comfortable with all possibilities, they can play and *think* at the same time. If a player is struggling to hit shots they feel they should be hitting, they're focused more on their technique than strategies.

Practicing to find tricky strategies to use might be more a will-to-win that goes beyond just heavy practicing but a drive to understand how to do things better (working smarter, not harder). I think Cooller is famous for this, playing smarter and not "harder".

interview Dahang now and ask him about what happened and what he thinks of strenx :]

i've seen strenx whine and flame numerous times, but I always assumed that it's the ingame rage which a lot of gamers feel that makes him do those things. After reading this interview, however, it seems he's just a total moron :D

Yeah he must be modest and nice to everybody, only you guys are allowed to bash others arrogantly in ESR threads.... Because apparently you're blind to your own behavior and super-sensitive to the behavior of others. Either accept that you're arrogant and immature and don't bash others for being the same, or change your own behavior first to get a convincing right to blame others.

That's the point. You criticize only because you don't recognize that you're the same. Otherwise you'd have to cope with the shock that you really hate your own character, and I know only two ways to do that: lowering the moral standards both for yourself and others, or becoming a true saint and wielding a crusade against others who're not as saintly. =) You may invent a different way if it's possible, I just can't think up anything else.

I absolutely agree with you. Strenx needs to have some self-confidence. He's showing some sorta fake arrogance, but really he's a little boy inside. What he wants is a style like av3k, cypher or cooller without practising. That's kinda impossible, you have to practise a lot, but it is possible to get it and then relax a bit with it like they have done. It's like he's such a wannabe, he's given up on himself. Wake up, Strenx :)

Criticizing people who spend too much time playing is nothing new. Maybe it's the manner of criticizing that made you so angry, but I personally find it normal. So we have entirely different perception of the same thing, for unknown reasons.

you do realize you're talking about the guy who used to cheat in quake because he couldn't stand losing all th time? ...and then later became good by playing 10x as much as everyone else in europe? wtf.

strenx almost lost it when he played cooller at iem europe "i played so much dm6 i can't understand why i lose what am i supposed to do!?" were his words... that guy is a hypocrite and you're falling for it :x

TT, angry? Are you kidding? I use strong words sometimes, but this is not anger.

...and why is this behavior of Strenx "old" (not new) in the Quake community? That's my question. It seems some people (many?) in the Quake community are confused. Demonize practice but yet still revel in the competition. What?

As a spectator the more practice the players do, the happier I am. I want to see Quake at its highest level with competitors which have assimilated themselves for competition. I don't look down on them. I don't judge them. I don't make bogus claims about their lives.

If dreams of slapping have nothing to do with anger, then I'm really confused =) Anyway, I just don't get it, that's why I've been arguing with people here. You know how it usually goes, if somebody insulted you personally you will get angry, it's very difficult to avoid it, almost impossible. And there's no real reason to avoid it, it's normal! But if no personal attack is happening and no hurt pride is involved, then you will not get angry, no matter what people do. That's how I operate at least, and so I can't understand why people bash strenx or av3k like this, moreso strenx, because he seems to be so easily influenced by opinions of others, it' s just unpleasant for me to see, to be honest! I'd rather see him cocky all the time, instead of controllable. Well surely these guys haven't insulted each of the people who're bashing them personally in past, so I can't see the reasons for strong reactions. Maybe I misunderstand something, and it isn't really serious and is merely "trolling". =)

As for practicing, I'll refer you to fox and cooller who don't believe that practicing is the key to success for them anymore, but people aren't bashing them for harming the competitive mindset.

I hope we can lay it all to rest now, unless you want to say something else about it, of course.

TT really? Dreams of slapping? Do you make this shit up on your own, or twist and contort a point-of-view to fit your limited one?

\If dreams of slapping have nothing to do with anger, then I'm really confused =) Anyway, I just don't get it, that's why I've been arguing with people here.

You're completely missing the point. I'll get back to this later.

\I'd rather see him cocky all the time, instead of controllable./

That's fine. Cocky is and blind arrogance is fun. I understand this.

\As for practicing, I'll refer you to fox and cooller who don't believe that practicing is the key to success for them anymore, but people aren't bashing them for harming the competitive mindset./

Again, missing the point. More later.

\I hope we can lay it all to rest now, unless you want to say something else about it, of course./

heh Well we can, but I'm running out the door. I've said: "more later" but if you want to be done, we can be done.

But I wonder why "dreams of slapping" sounded offensive. It was said in a joking way, there was actually a smilie there! As for missing the point, I was mostly explaining my own point of view, how could I miss its point =)

And btw I do value independence, not arrogance or politeness. These things aren't directly connected to it, anything at all can be connected to it. Ok a quick fix done!

Exactly, apparently it's ok for people here on esr to throw insults left and right but if you dare to do it for real, then you're an idiot. I don't agree with everything he says but he definitely got a couple of valid points in there.

Prick. How can you argue about American's practicing too much and then fucking QQ when you get raped. If he's so "ANTI-THIS AND THAT" he should get the fuck outta Quake and let someone who's going to PLAY TO WIN take his spot.

No offense but that attitude is total shit and I won't be disappointed if he's not given a chance (or loses) again.

I so agree man.
I never bought that idea where some players tries to to look cool by saying "that group practices so much, and i practice so little".

If whoever wins is a guy who practices and try hard he has my respect.
Saying "they practice more" is just a way of trying to put pressure on the others anways. I doubt any of the players would believe him, or even care. It's a bit arrogant.
Never heard someone like Roger Federer say "Nadal only beat me this tournament because he practiced more".

Clearly if someone else had been good enough they would be in Strenx's spot. Id rather watch a pissed off frenchman causing drama than some polite mannered nerd who isnt going to add anything beyond frags to the entertainment value of Quake.

As someone rather knowledgeable about promoting e-sports I am sure you recognize the value of such banter between players. I agree that Strenx has a shitty attitude from that interview but I think it is hilarious that you don't at least comment on the entertainment value of it all.

Strenx deserve that spot more than most in that tourney simply because he can play with the big boys and can add infinite more character to the games than anyone whos posted here.

Smells like 19 year old french pussy in here. Strenx needs to get his ass beat up terribly. he is complaining about practicing and people training so hard when there is no financial gain in doing so. well maybe some people actually enjoy playing the game and want to be the best at it and the tournament money is a just a bonus.

I dunno, it seems like a more responsible thing for Ljefie to do would have been NOT to publish this interview. Strenx is clearly upset when writing this and will probably regret saying it. It's a shame, too, because who knows if QL will grow in popularity and might bring more tournaments? Strenx kinda throwing it away by setting himself up for public ridicule for his comments.

That's a bit silly. The whole point of being able to be graceful in the media is to realize wtf you're saying and what's going to be published. People have accused me of making the whole thing up or that someone was pretending to be strenx during the interview (!).

The fact that he said so many times that he doesn't care shows that he knew this interview would get strong reactions. I'm not his mother and to be fair I actually think hes got big balls for just having the guts to trash talk so openly. Look at how interested all of a sudden everyone got into this tournament, if they weren't so already.

Maybe I sound like a bitch but it's not my responsibility (or place) to "direct people to say the right things so they don't regret it later" in interviews. If they want to say something, they should be able to say it and in their own words. In the av3k interview for example, the journalist was putting words in his mouth by saying "You must admit, that Cooller's sportsmanship didn't really do him good".

Do you think this is right too? What is better, to publish what somebody wants to say or to put words in their mouth and let them answer with something I want to hear? What I think is that Strenx just wanted to say his piece and I let him. I didn't even have to ask many questions, I let him cover what he wanted to talk about.

"I actually think hes got big balls for just having the guts to trash talk so openly."

nah, thats just being oblivious idiot, most of the stuff can be rephrased to not make you look like a complete tool even if you trash talk..
"I don't like him at all. Even his face... really, he doesn't look good" - seriously..?
and as far as age "excuses" go: 19y should be enough to get your shit together..hell, youre considered adult by that time and people about that age are going to college..

I agree, you're not his mother, but it is exploitative when someone is raged/frustrated and writes an incoherent/rambling rant even if he knew it was a public interview. He should know better than to write these comments when he's upset. I suppose at the very least he'll learn a lesson from all this.

I actually just felt sorry/embarrassed for Strenx after reading the interview. His comments don't make the championship anymore exciting, all it does is give more ammo to the trolls and flames that are going to happen against the kid.

What you're completely unaware of is the things that aren't included as there was a point where I said "I won't put that, it's too much". If I was manipulating his words, approaching him when he's obviously upset and coercing him to speak on things he didn't want to then yes I could agree it could be exploitative. But theres nothing in there that he didn't want to talk about and had no problem talking about anything.

I never said you manipulated anything and you didn't do anything wrong (not that you need me to tell you this). But I did suggest in my original post on this subject that you could have just withheld the whole interview after realizing it could do nothing beneficial for Strenx and rather only make himself look sad and get ridiculed by everyone on ESR.

ok then we have a misunderstanding here. I don't interview people just so that they can look good. I like to interview people because I think that gaming is interesting and it's nice for myself (and others) to know the personalities behind it. I'm not a PR agent for the players.

Livi I have to say that I agree with their comments here. Ultimately the negative impact to Strenx here will hit him hard as he will read this and take offense and no doubt people will think less of him because of it. Like many have mentioned here before he is just very immature which is fine for somebody his age but if this was a real sport or journalism such as the bbc it would never have been broadcast because of the knock on effect.

I am not blaming you but in future I think you have to realize these people you are interviewing are kids who have no idea what they are saying regardless of whether they are willing to say it or not.

Ultimately the negative impact to Strenx here will hit him hard as he will read this and take offense and no doubt people will think less of him because of it.

if he was that worried about what people would think of him, or how he would look, then he should have thought about that in the first place.

Like many have mentioned here before he is just very immature which is fine for somebody his age but if this was a real sport or journalism such as the bbc it would never have been broadcast because of the knock on effect.

even in pro sports people talk smack- so what? I've seen much worse televised, published, blogged about such-and-such said this, such-and-such said that.

I am not blaming you but in future I think you have to realize these people you are interviewing are kids who have no idea what they are saying regardless of whether they are willing to say it or not.

this "kid" knew what he was getting interviewed for. He knew where it was going to be posted. He knew what kind of reaction it would get, otherwise he wouldn't have done it.

There was no complaint of this nature when Av3k ran his mouth recently. I don't see the point of it now, just because its strenx.

Thats the whole point... when your young and immature you don't think about the consequences of your actions.

Maybe so but I am pretty sure he is wishing he hadn't said this stuff when a lot of the other players's opinion of him just plummeted.

Well, he's in a tournament for professional gamers. He's a member of Fnatic (a well-established gaming group), surrounded by other pro-gamers (whether he considers himself one or not is another issue entirely and not part of my point), and probably has a manager or the equivalent.

Maybe so but I am pretty sure he is wishing he hadn't said this stuff when a lot of the other players's opinion of him just plummeted.

He may very well be, but he didn't really seem concerned with what any other player or person thought of him. If he feels that bad about it though, then perhaps he can learn some kind of lesson and not speak in the same manner next time. =)

Edit: You are right that he wished he hadn't said this stuff. See here. From the sounds of it, he's sorry.

Did you make it perfectly clear for strenx that you would put this interview on your site and reference to it on a major gaming site like ESR? Was he fully aware that everyone in the QL community would read those words?

I agree with some statements from strenx, but that "i don't practise at all practise is for losers who don't have a life" is total bullshit and he's just being hypocrite. Like he's where he's playing the bots 1 time a month.
You can act cool and careless but don't lie please.
Bashing esr or others site community isn't correct since he's allowing giving interviews that will appear in such sites.. so pointless shit.

And ofcourse he expects to go to playoffs.. he has been playing with stermy for at least 4 days.. but no.. he doesn't plays the game.. he was drinking and smoking pot with stermy the whole time.

1) Imho it is not a great idea to flame Dahang or Winz (your words are quite strong against winz, whatever he said to you), or Cooller or anybody else... especially when you say that you don't care about guys who have not the same way of life or concept of life than you (or ppl who don't appreciate you).

Simply let them alone. By saying what you said, it's like if you switched on the dark side of the force and it discredit you.

------------------------------------------------------------

2) Perhaps to "play QL" all day long is waste of time, by partying and drinking it is also waste on time...

The only thing which is not waste of time is to having sex (lol) and also develop your culture/knowledge.

No seriously, it's not because something is not your main interest that it is necessarily a waste of time for somebody else.

Everybody is free and can find their own interest in what they like to do. Of course it is usually better to diversify your activities (sports, reading, playing), but what do you know exactly about Dahang life ?

------------------------------------------------------------

3) French culture/mentality and north Americans ones are different... And ? What's the point ? Is there a winner and a looser ? No they/we are just different.

In France we have the "Baron Pierre de Coubertin" symptom.

For the ppl who don't know (see my 2nd point about waste of time and knowledge/culture interest :), this man (Pierre de Coubertin) has reinvented the (modern) Olympic games (~more a century ago <=> That is why we kept French language during OG official ceremonies/protocol).

In French culture, since you are a child you learn (like a brainwashing) that "the important thing is participation and not winning". (*)

Philosophically speaking you can admit that it's a great idea, and it seems that strenx concept is the same. Why not.

But is there any better EXCUSE when you loose than this fucking joke !?

<my life>
I never, but never adhered to this philosophy (especially for official competitions). OK that's why I whined so much during my quake carrier... haha :-) Sorry again for those who have suffered during 7 years)
</my life>

But it is often because of this excuse that France is not on the top5 during Olympic competitions. "We" always have this MAIN excuse in "our" pocket... That is the best way to be a looser in fact as you will always have an excuse.

Hopefully some sportsmen have the fighting spirit and kept in mind that if they are here it's to win, not to be a tourist !

That's what I like in other culture (especially in US... and closest to us (geographicaly speaking), the GER one).

It's is not because you want to win that you are a bad guy... If you stay fair, have a good mentality (not whining when you lost...) and never go through/behind the rules, there is no problem about that.

Actually Coubertin quoted someone else when he said that line. And from what I've heard on TV Coubertin didn't care about participating at all, he was more about winning at all costs and why not cheating and taking drugs. He was a friend of Hitler according to wikipedia's page too.

it has all to do with satisfaction and confidence. if you have those 2 attribute in your life, youll talk and judge others fewer to a certain extend.

its not easy tho to stand others if you cant even stand urself !
the whole interview shows simple how he is lets say occupied with thoughts about "his own value" in life in general.
i mean hes 19, what to expect. for sure no stood personality.

its actually good to see how people really are if you just watch what comes to their mind primary and often :) (ofc its always like this rofl). im sure a decent personality would talk about like blabla cbit, journey, friends, fun competition and so on.

ofc he gave answers to question, but he didnt hesitate to make it as much controverse as possible. witch is also a character trait of inferiority complexes because he begs for attention.

i like the part where he said "People who whine about this game are sad cos it's just a game" and then "ZOMG BUT IN DUBAI I HAD TOTALLY LEGIT REASON TO CUNTWHINE". Still, love him or hate him, hope he has a nice tourney.

Hopefully not as nice as DaHanG Cooller Cypher Fox Jibo cos those guys are really showing personality in a positive way.

"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore.
